"Isn't this more exciting?"
"Then don't turn! I'm dizzy!"
"How dare you say that?"
This is the semi-open-air swimming pool on the Golden Court.
Because Xia Chuanhu was busy all day yesterday and hardly spent any time with Vita, so now that everything seems to be over, Vita directly dragged Xia Chuanhu to the swimming pool and forced him to make up for what he owed her yesterday!
Xia Chuanhu did not protest against this. After all, it was true that he did not have a good time yesterday and did not spend much time with Vita.
"The next one is over there, the water waterfall, Tiger, come sit with me!"
"Yes yes yes~~~"
He didn't resist much. As soon as Vita pulled his hand, Xia Chuanhu obediently followed her to swim to the next entertainment facility.
On the shore, watching the two people getting along like this, Ragnar, who was lying on a beach chair, took a bite of the watermelon pizza in his hand and said, "Those two people...has the atmosphere changed a little, Rita?"
"Yeah, it looks like they are getting closer than yesterday."
Rita, who was sitting under the same parasol as Ragnar, also looked at Xiachuanhu and Vita: "I heard that they jumped into the sea yesterday, but I didn't expect that they could walk out of the guest room today as if nothing had happened - do you know any inside story, Master Fu Hua?"
"do not know."
Next to Rita, Fu Hua, who was sitting on the edge of the pool in a simple one-piece swimsuit, shook her head: "Maybe something happened in the sea? Compared to this, Rita, this is not what you want to tell me, right?"
"I'm glad you understand."
"...After this voyage, I will go back to Tenmi with you. I will discuss the details with Otto. I'll trouble you to take care of Eden, Sakura."
Fu Hua said the second half of the sentence to Ying who was playing with Huang Jinji in the water.
And these people are all the people in this swimming pool now - at dawn a few hours ago, Xia Chuan Hu sent a message to all of them, hoping that they could come and meet, and since Vita didn't wake up until after lunch, and dragged Xia Chuan Hu here as soon as she woke up, the World Snake simply booked this place.
Oh, it can’t be said that they were the only ones, there was actually another person.
“Um…Is it okay for me to hear these words?”
Crouching not far away, holding her tail, Paduafilis looked at Rita and others tremblingly.
She was originally carrying out the task assigned to her by Xia Chuanhu obediently, dreaming of making a lot of extra money, but Xia Chuanhu suddenly called her, canceled the task, and asked her to change into a swimsuit and come to the gathering, and by the way, he paid her the balance that had not been paid.
Padua Felice admitted that she was blinded by money for a moment. If she had known that she would come here and be in the same room with these big sisters who looked very difficult to deal with, and heard them talk about things that seemed to be top secret, she would definitely have collected the balance and run away!
Seeing that Padre Felice acted like a stranger to them, Fu Hua and Ying were silent for a moment, but did not take the initiative to say hello.
Although she was once a member of the Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes and theoretically a member of the World Snake, ever since she chose to withdraw from the World Snake, it was not appropriate for them to have too much contact with her.
even--
"cherry."
Huang Jinji pulled Ying's hand and pointed at Padfils: "She is... Number 1?"
"...Yeah, that's right."
Ying nodded, and the real name of Padufils appeared in her mind - Yingjie Rebirth Project Experimental Subject No. 001.
Golden Princess is indeed the only successful individual in this plan so far, but there were several failed individuals before her, and Padofelice is one of them.
The reason she was created first was because [Padofilis was the weakest hero] and could be reproduced relatively better. However, the cloned Padofilis's abilities in all aspects did not meet the standards, so she was abandoned at the beginning.
Of course, to say she was abandoned actually meant that she was just placed in a certain base and kept well fed and well cared for. After all, she was a replica of Ying Jie, so there was no way they could get rid of her, and the same went for the other failed experimental subjects.
What no one expected was that in just two days, Padua disappeared from the base. When she was found again, she was already living in an orphanage in the UK. She had even lost her memory of the World Serpent. It was speculated that she encountered something during the months she was missing, which led to her amnesia.
In any case, even though she has Padofils' appearance, a similar personality, and even the same habits, preferences, and specialties, she is not the real Padofils.
Sakura knew this very well, so even if they met again now, she didn't plan to disturb her - Paduafilis was definitely happier, more cheerful and freer than ever before, and there was no need to bring her into the world related to Honkai anymore.
“Crash——————!”
A loud splash of water came from not far away.
Sakura quickly supported Huang Jinji beside her, and looked at Xiachuan Hu and Vita not far away with some helplessness.
"It's really noisy~~~ But it's nice to play like this once in a while."
"It's a pity that we can't bring Rin with us on this mission."
Sakura pulled up her hair which was completely wet and dripping with water, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
————————————————————————
at the same time.
In a certain base of the World Serpent.
"So, you just came back in disgrace? Weiwei."
"What can I do? He's coming to attack me, can I still stay here and fight him? Don't be so vain, Professor Mobius."
"Hmph~~~"
Taking off the mask on her face, the beautiful woman with a slender waist and plump curves smiled at her colleagues behind her: "So, did the elusive witch say what to do next?"
"I didn't tell you when I left, but you just contacted me ten minutes ago - [Ms. Mobius is allowed to move freely for the time being]."
"Oh?"
After playing with her emerald green hair, the beautiful woman - Mebius - flashed a hint of amusement in her snake eyes: "This is really a very interesting instruction~~~ It seems that I can satisfy my curiosity."
"Wei Weiwei, please help me design a better set of dissection instruments. Maybe it will be useful soon."
"What are you going to dissect?"
"Of course it's the [Your Majesty] that the witch has been thinking about~~~ She has rated him as an ultimate individual who is better than Kevin and Qianjie. Don't you think he has great research value?"
Mebius licked the corner of his mouth.
An abnormal blush appeared on both sides of her cheeks.
49. World Snake? Winery!
They didn't play in the swimming pool for very long. Although everyone present was an absolute physical monster who could withstand high-intensity combat for several hours in a row, Xia Chuanhu was an ultimate life form who had no idea what physical strength was. However, after playing for a whole afternoon, there was really nothing left to do in the swimming pool.
After the group left the swimming pool, the place they went to was naturally the restaurant.
"Anyway, let's serve everything on the menu first."
After taking a quick glance at the menu, Xia Chuanhu said something that stunned the people around him: "Please hurry up, and put the bill on the World Snake account, and find someone named Meili to pay for it."
"…Do as he says, Raven."
Noticing the pleading look from Raven, who was acting as a waitress, Sakura cooperated and motioned for her to do the same: "The same goes for the bill. I'll explain it to the finance department later."
"learn."
Although she still had many doubts in her mind, Raven knew that now was not the time for her to ask questions, so she ran to the kitchen with the menu - she could fully anticipate what the reactions of the chefs in the kitchen would be.
After Raven left, Vita poked Xiachuan Hu: "Hu, can you really finish all the food you ordered?"
"About 80% full."
"...So you completely hold back on eating at home?"
"I've finished eating everything. What are you going to eat?"
Xiachuanhu said something that Vita had no idea how to refute.
Actually, to be honest, Xia Chuanhu has no need for food. It is no problem for him not to eat or drink. Eating is not a necessary behavior. It’s just that the habit over the years has made him an out-and-out glutton.
"So before dinner starts, let's talk about something?"
Xiachuan Hu said this to Ying, Fu Hua and Huang Jinji who were sitting at the same table with him and Vita - Rita, Ragnar and Padufils were at another table.
Looking at the three people sitting upright, Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "I believe you must have something to say to me, right? And I also have something to say to you, let's talk it out while we have dinner - who goes first?"
"I'll go first."
Under the surprised looks of Ying and Fu Hua, Huang Jinji was the first to speak.
It seems that this was not something they had discussed in advance, but a decision made by Huang Jinji herself.
"First of all...please let me thank you, Xiachuanhu. Although I still regard you as the most dangerous target, I must thank you for what you did last night."
"Last night? What do you mean?"
For a moment, Xia Chuanhu couldn't think of what he had done to deserve Huang Jinji's gratitude.
When it comes to what happened last night, all he could think of was the Quantum Sea and Meli.
When Huang Jinji saw this attitude, she couldn't say out loud the speech she had prepared in her mind.
(So in his eyes, destroying those quantum shadows that I should have faced was a trivial matter that I didn’t need to remember?)
".....and. I wanted to thank you for yesterday's practical test."
After a pause, Golden Princess said, "I am a clone created based on Golden Eden, just like Padufils over there. Although I have inherited the power of the original, my performance is not up to the same standard as the original."
"According to the data, in yesterday's actual combat test, the probability of my defeat and being eliminated was 80%."
The three small Quantum Shadows were not the problem; the problem was the two Emperor-level Quantum Shadows Tonatiuh. Even though Yingjie was an individual who could defeat the Herrscher alone, Golden Princess was not a true Yingjie, and this was her first actual combat experience.
Facing two emperor-level Honkai beast-level Quantum Shadows at the same time, the risk is indeed not small.
So, considering the worst possible scenario, Natsukawa Tora can be said to have saved Huang Jinji's life.
"Is that the case?"
Xia Chuanhu also remembered: "There is no need to thank you for something like this, it's just a small favor. After all, there are several people I know who are in the same situation as you, they are all created lives, and I am used to helping them clear the obstacles before they can be independent."
"So it's just a chore for me, no need to thank me for it."
"..."
Once again, there was silence.
Huang Jinji just looked at Xia Chuanhu in silence, and then she lowered her eyes after a while: "In my memory, the real Eden would give out various gems or precious objects to express gratitude, but I don't have that kind of financial resources, so please forgive me for only being able to express my gratitude verbally this time. I will make up for it with a real thank you gift in the future."
(Assuming I wasn't disposed of afterwards.)
"I told you not to..."
Having said that, Xia Chuanhu also knew that Huang Jinji probably wouldn't change her mind because of this: "Then what about Miss Ying and Miss Fu Hua?"
"...I'll save what I want to say for when I return to Tianming." Fu Hua shook her head.
"I have - although it was a message I received from that witch when I was changing clothes earlier."
Ying took out her phone from her pocket: "Sometimes I really feel that you and that witch really treat me as a messenger between you two."
(The message Meili asked Ying to pass on?)
Xia Chuanhu raised his eyebrows: "Go ahead."
"【To Your Majesty: Regarding the re-planning, after reviewing the old plan, I think the part of the old plan that is currently in progress can continue, that is, let the World Serpent know your power and maximize the World Serpent's obedience to you, so that you can get all kinds of help from the World Serpent in the future】"
"【Therefore, I made the following arrangements——】"
"【As for the World Serpent, I have temporarily handed over the direct command of all departments to the head of the Earth headquarters, Professor Mebius. She has always been interested in you. According to my understanding of her, she will definitely make a series of plans against you next. Please don't hesitate to show her your strength.】"
"【I can guarantee that with your popularity with women and her way of thinking, she will definitely become yours in a matter of minutes——】"
Halfway through her speech, Ying suddenly paused, her expression changed for a while, and then she raised the phone in front of Xia Chuanhu. When she saw the name that Meili used in the message, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"I understand. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. It won't have any impact."
"Thanks......"
After taking back the phone, Ying continued, "In addition, the above arrangement has only been notified to the members of the World Snake Earth Headquarters. Members who have not received the notification do not need to act according to the above arrangement from now on. Specifically, Ying, Ahua and Mini Eden will help you from today. You can regard them as your insiders in the World Snake, or as useful subordinates.
"【Of course, it's okay to just let them join the new Knights of the Round Table. No one around you can help you anyway——】... Xia Chuan, this is up to you."
"No need, I can guess what she said with my feet." Xia Chuanhu held his forehead, "Is there anything else?"
Ying nodded: "Hmm - [While you and Professor Mobius are being affectionate, I will also be on the moon to observe your situation in real time and decide on future plans based on the final results. So from now on, please play well with the little snake. Love you, Meili]"
"【Finally, please don't forget to look for her. I have already notified them. Just let little Padu lead the way.】"
